Glasgow residents are set to benefit from £1.95m of transport improvements over the next three years thanks to investment from Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT).
The funding comes from SPT’s Capital Programme 2026/27 to 2028/29. It has been allocated to local authorities and other delivery partners of SPT to support the delivery of its Regional Transport Strategy, which aims to improve accessibility, affordability, availability and connectivity of transport across Strathclyde, as well as reducing carbon emissions and promoting active travel.
Bus lane enforcement cameras, access improvements to Subway and bus stations, and a city centre south bus hub will each receive £150,000, with all projects considered both operationally essential and strategically significant.
Flourishing Futures by St Paul’s Youth Forum (SPYF) is being awarded £106,000. The forum runs initiatives like community meals, “On Bikes” cycling projects and educational trips to build safer, more connected future for young people.
Other groups that will benefit from the funding include:
- Cycle Forward: Bike for Good’s Core Programme - £90,000
- Learn – Repair – Ride by Drumchapel Cycle Hub - £33,000
- Cycle Ready: Workplace Active Travel Programme - £23,000
- Connecting Communities Glasgow - £9,000
- Play Together on Pedals - £9,000
- Go Eco Glasgow – Community-led Transport Solutions - £9,000
- Women on Wheels - £5,000
Councillor Stephen Dornan, Chair of Strathclyde Partnership for Transport, said: “We remain committed to improving transport across the SPT region, ensuring safe, reliable and sustainable transport options for all. Our investment programme will help ensure that communities, residents and businesses across Glasgow can share in the benefits of improved public transport and active travel.
“Our work continues to align with the objectives set out in our Regional Transport Strategy and we look forward to collaborating with local authorities and partners to deliver meaningful transport improvements that support connectivity, inclusion and a greener, more connected region.”
